Ham Radio - RCARC Field Day 2010

Saturday June 26 all day and night.
The Ripley County Amateur Radio Club (RCARC) organized just over two years ago has become ready for disaster with a test in the field using portable antenna and operating without power from the electric company. Portable generators and home built makeshift antennas were used for the exercise. Field Day, sponsored by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), is an annual event to keep amateur operators prepared in the event communications are disrupted or overloaded. Please stop by the East shelter at the Milan, Indiana park to see the Field Day in action
- everyone welcome.
See the YouTube video of last year's fun.
